PLEASE READ - Next Meeting - 03/17/11 - Topics Up For Discussion

[Mary]

In an attempt to move this project forward, there will be a power
point presentation at the next meeting that will explain the model we
are following to open a successful cooperative as well as what has
been done so far and what our proposed timeline is.

Please read over the posted Mission, Vision and Value Statements
posted on this discussion board and make any appropriate comments or
changes you feel will express a concise statement of what each
membership group desires to see within the co-op. I would like to see
comments by potential consumers, producers and workers. If you like
one of the statements that has already been posted more than another
or if you want to combine a couple of the statements together - feel
free.

These topics will be voted upon by the interim board at their first
meeting following the public forum. If you would like to be part of
this interim board, please take a look at the Service Circle
discussion and volunteer to be a coordinator for one of our groups.
Both Rachel and Kate have volunteered as interim coordinators for the
Producers Circle and the Business Formation Circle. If you feel you
can devote more time to either of these groups, please feel free to
volunteer as the permanent circle coordinator and I'm sure both Rachel
and Kate would be glad to offer their help.

Emily will be at the next meeting updating everyone on her family's
efforts to secure a location in the Anchorage area. She will present
her information right after the power point.

Oh, yes - don't forget about the Google doc for potential producers.
If you have any interest in supplying some type of product to the co-
op, please add your name, contact information and check the box(es) of
the products you can or may supply.

Thank you for your interest and participation.

Mary
